Gm            A#               F
Ain't nobody slowing down, no way.
      C
Everybody's stepping on their accelerator

Don't matter where you are, everybody's gonna need
A ventilator, yeah

When you're trapped and circled with no second chances
Code of living is your gun in hand, we can't be
Browed by beating, we can't be cowed by words
Messed by cheating, ain't gonna ever learn

Everybody walking 'round. Everybody trying to step on
Their Creator

Don't matter where you are. Everybody, everybody goooo...
...ooonnnnna need some kind of ventilator
Some kind of ventilator (come down and get it)

What you gonna do about it, what you gonna do?
What you gonna do about it, what you gonna do?
Gonna fight it, gonna fight it
Gonna fight it, gonna fight it
Gonna fight it, gonna fight it
